‘EDITING URBANISM’ is the new title of the MONU urbanism magazine. The Editor in Chief Bernd Upmeyer focuses this issue on the shortage and the lack of interest on the ‘editing urbanism’. He covers forgotten topic or little sexy themes, which should be relevant on the survival of contemporary cities. The urban-architectural REstoration, REnovation, REdevelopment, REnewal or adaptive REuse of old structures… these are some of the 'RE' that are reflected on this issue MONU #14, in order to clarify this controversy over urban REcycling. Some architects and urban designers have written about their personal research, such as the articles like 'Eternal Ise' by Jarrik Ouburg where he explains the rebuilding of Japan and the disappearance of the Toyo Ito´s U-house; or the interview by Beatriz Ramo to OMA 'Extreme Extreme Demolition and Preservation’ which explains the controversy of the deterioration of the architecture through actions over the Rem Koolhaas work, or the strategic action 'This Is Not an Empty Plot' where Patrizia Di Monte specifies the chance of the daily empty plots. Summing up, this is a great manifest of the contemporary urban recycling.
